This article reviews the literature on the design of robotic mechanical grippers, with a focus
on the mechanical aspects, which are believed to be the main bottleneck for effective …

Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) hold numerous advantages over conventional parallel
robots in terms of high speed and large workspace. Cable-driven parallel robots whose …

In remote magnetic navigation, a magnetic navigation system is used to generate magnetic
fields to apply mechanical wrenches to steer a magnetic object. This technique can be …

The maximum cable tension is a crucial parameter in the design of a cable-driven parallel
robot (CDPR) since the various mechanical components of the CDPR must be designed to …

Grasping in constrained environments is, to this day, an ongoing research topic. Objects can
rarely be grasped from arbitrary directions, hence the need to study the options available to …

Motion planning in multicontact scenarios has recently gathered interest within the legged
robotics community, however actuator force/torque limits are rarely considered. We believe …

The research work presented in this paper introduces a Reconfigurable Cable Driven
Parallel Robot (RCDPR) to be employed in industrial operations on large structures …

The study of cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) has attracted much attention in recent
years. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, no single software platform exists for …

This paper presents a new generalized ray-based approach to the generation and
representation of the wrench-closure workspace (WCW) for cable-driven robots (CDRs) …

This paper proposes a methodology to determine the printable workspace of a cable robot
by taking cable mass and mobile platform orientation into account. This workspace has a …
